This is my Pro Tools machine for live events and using on the road and also gets used in the studio when I need a second Pro Tools system if I'd recording a voice over for a tutorial or review video. My other studio and live Mac is a mid 2012 MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16 GB of RAM running OS 10.12.3 (Sierra). This machine has been rock solid since I got if from the Apple Refurbished store and it has never skipped a beat during a session however lately the USB ports on the back are at becoming picky at best about what I connect them to so I installed a USB-3 PCIe card to get around this issue. The other major addition to this machine was a second DVD / Blu-Ray burner to allow me to back-up very large amounts of data and audio in one go (Up to 24GB on a single sided Blu-Ray). It is fully loaded with 3 x 4Tb Western Digital Black drives for media and a 1Tb Crucial SSD for the OS. My main studio machine is a early 2009 Mac Pro Cheese-grater, which originally shipped as a single quad core machine but about 18 months ago with the help of the guys at Create Pro it was upgraded to 2 x 3.46GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processors and 32Gb of RAM. I am running 2 different Macs at the moment. James Ivey - Early 2009 Mac Pro 'Cheese-grater' My machine currently takes everything Pro Tools can throw at it and has comfortably ran medium sized post and music sessions from external drives containing 90 - 100 tracks without skipping a beat.

My only concern right now is that I’m reluctant to upgrade beyond OS X Yosemite due to compatibility with my older Adobe CS6 suite of programs – everything is currently running smoothly so no need to swallow that expensive pill just yet. I invested quite a bit in Thunderbolt interfaces and peripherals at the same time as well so I’m currently not experiencing too many ‘bottlenecks’ with connectivity speeds etc. I am currently running a late 2013, 3.5GHz Intel Quad Core i7 iMac with 512GB SSD which I bought in mid 2014 and I’ve upgraded the RAM to 32GB since purchase. I know that I will not invest in this machine in terms of repair or upgrades anymore as it has certainly served me well over the last six years.

I know the day of replacing this machine is coming ever closer. It's starting to show signs of ageing as I'm having problems with Wi-Fi and occasional power off problems. I have the same machine as Mike that I upgraded in 2013 with 32GB RAM and SSD drives. Dan Cooper - Mid 2010 Mac Pro 'Cheese-grater' So all in all I have a fairly pimped Mac Pro Cheese-grater. In April 2016 I upgraded the video card which you can read about in Installing A New Graphics Card In My Mac Pro. In February 2016 I upgraded the RAM in my Mac Pro to bring it up to 32GB.

You can read more about the research in the story Review Of Angelbird SSD Drives - Part 1 - Introduction and then how I went about the upgrade process in the story Review Of Angelbird - Part 2 - SSD Wrk For Mac Pro Drive. In January 2016 I replaced the Crucial SSD drive with an Angelbird drive after I had researched the issue of the TRIM command and that in a Mac world not all SSD drives are the same. In February 2014 I upgraded the RAM and another 8GB to bring it up to 24GB. You can read all about it in my story Mike Installs SSD Into His Mac Pro. I installed a Crucial M4 512GB SSD on a special Akasa SSD & HDD Adapter bracket. In April 2013 I added an SSD drive in this machine. Since then I have undertaken a number of upgrades.

So as you can see my machine already doesn't really owe me anything. You can read my story about how I came to choose this system here in the story My Pro Tools 10 HD2 To HDX Upgrade Story. It is a Mid 2010 Mac Pro which I bought in December 2011 when I went HDX as my previous machine would not support HDX cards. I currently have a Mac Pro Cheese-grater - 2 x 2.4GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon. Mike Thornton - Mid 2010 Mac Pro 'Cheese-grater'

In the first of series of articles and polls we would like to ask Mac users in the Pro Tools Expert community what Apple Mac are you currently using? But first, here is what we own and why. I think it has to be said that the jury is out so we thought it might be helpful to extend the discussion to the whole community. In Podcast 255, Dan, Peter and Mike discussed what Mac we currently have and what our plans for the future are. Over the past few weeks we have been looking at What Apple Mac users are going to do for the next Pro Tools machine.
